Amazing

Easter Sunday, we were on our way to my in-laws.All of a sudden, hubby does a u-turn on a busy highway. Scares me to death!When I ask what the flip he's doing, he stops to pick something up from the road.It was a bible.It had been beat up a little, but was otherwise brand new. Never written in, so all the information pages are blank.The only thing we know is the name engraved on the cover.I pull out my cell, and call information. No listing.When we get home, hubby gets the phone book, and calls all the people with that last name, hoping someone knows this person.No such luck.We tried, but had no idea what else to do. Hubby decides he's going to go to the closest church to where we found it, and ask them, on wed. night.Well, tuesday we stop at hardee's to share bacon cheddar fries ( stop giving me that look ). I like to read the paper while I eat out, so I get one.We're just beginning to eat when I see in the classifieds an ad saying,"lost bible. name ________ , please return"I'm so excited!!! I call the number, and the woman who answered said it belonged to her 18 year old son. His girlfriend had just given it to him that morning for easter, and it was the first time he was using it. She asks when she can get it back, so I told her where we were, and she sent her son to get it back.He was a super nice kid. He said he was carrying eggs, and put his bible on the hood of the car to put the eggs in, and drove off. On his way to church, he heard something, and looked back, and thought he ran over a can, because all he saw was the silver of the pages. When he got to church and realized his bible was missing, he turned around to look for it. Apparently when he got to the spot, we had already picked it up.So, happy ending.I was glad hubby had turned around and picked it up before it was destroyed.
